Indobamboo's java house

a little pad for crashing after a day in the trenches at the factory making bamboo flooring.

my work camp in Malang, Java

These kids live in an abandoned military housing complex. The units are mostly empty still but some are rented by families and Indobamboo, Bali office workers visiting the factory (myself included) for two week stints. We rent one of them for the year for $500.

These guys all posed for me and then I gave em some candy. indonesians love, love, love sugar.

Fortune is smiling wider for us these days and we are one excited family. No swan or sailor dives for the girls!

Indobamboo's first piece of furniture

our flooring planks are getting added value! this will be the first of five going into a big gallery
